Hello Everyone!
The exciting conclusion to our yellow river discussions. In this episode we discuss the near century where active management of the river was abandoned in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Communist party's attempts to return it to order.
We also touch on modern PRC water management techniques, which often involve redirecting water from more affluent areas to less politically sensitive ones.
